It isn't a software bug: at least, there are no software work-arounds
implemented.  It's because DNS isn't available at the time : you should
find it un-hangs after the DNS timeout period of two minutes or so.  You
need to delay the gateway setting until the link is up.  See my pages on
http://www.warren.demon.co.uk/ka9q.html to find out how to do this.
